On 28th of September we opened an exhibition in Yigeng Art Museum located in Songzhuang Town of Tongzhou (in the eastern suburbs of Beijing), which is the most famous and biggest artist community in Beijing. More than 5,000 artists live there. Being a biggest artist community in Beijing, also makes it one of the biggest artist communities in world!
Originally representing the avant-garde, the area now accommodates artists who paint in varying styles, ranging from the avant-garde to the academic. Painters, sculptors, photographers, writers, conceptual/new media artists and dreamers live side-by-side.
Participating artists: Anonymous Boh, Taje Tross, Leonhard Lapin, Tõnis Laanemaa, Raul Meel, Toomas Kuusing, Peeter Allik, Tyler Krasowski, Curtis Jones, Ryan O’Malley, Charles Hancock, John Hancock, Kate Fire, Katy Seals, Joseph Velasques, Greg Nanney, Xenia Fedorcenko, Mila Balti.
Exhibition opening included undercover Chinese secret police who studied each art piece at least 3 minutes which made them unarguably the best audience!
Later they followed us to an after party to make sure that we would not perform in any other way than singing or dancing! They also followed us for an hour to verify that we are not staying in Songzhuang area. For past days the heat is totally on! We are basically house arrested for at least 48 hours to not attract any attention.
